Lieber Sven,
Ich wünsche Dir alles erdenklich Beste zu Deinem 60. Geburtstag 🔊🎂. Liebe, Gesundheit, Glück, weiterhin viel Erfolg, Spaß, schweißtreibende Nächte und Tage und dass Du uns noch mindestens weitere 40 Jahre hinter den Plattentellern erhalten bleibst. Bei Deinen Genen und Energie sehe ich da kein Problem.
Leider kann ich bei Deinen Geburtstagsfeierlichkeiten nicht dabei sein, was ich mir sehr gewünscht hätte, aber das ist leider auch Deine Schuld, da ich momentan auf einer kleinen Tour in Amerika bin.
But let me explain and switch to English so more will understand what I am trying to say here.
I can safely say that without Sven’s unmatched, unapologetic, uncompromising and most of all visionary trailblazing ability to form and create the electronic music scene from the late 80‘s onwards up till today and counting, neither I, nor many many others would be where they are today. Yes, even you, the young new generation. In my specific case right now that means I am in the USA at an airport flying to my next gig. Hence whey I can’t be with you this weekend. Your fault 😊.
I can already look back now to a very fun filled most incredible 30 years of an international DJ career and it really all started when I became a resident at Sven’s first Club called the Omen in Frankfurt in the 90‘s (the pic must have been around 95/96 behind the DJ booth there). Sven created a club that quickly became world famous and gave me and many others the possibility to play and learn from the best. Learn from the master himself. Focusing on sound and music. Playing long sets. Taking people on a journey, sweating and dancing like there is no tomorrow, just the present moment.
After that Sven took the next steps, creating , bringing it also to Ibiza and basically changing the island, especially in terms of his vision of house and techno. I vividly remember the first time playing the main room at in the first season in 99 to a crowd of 10 people on the dancefloor. How far we have come since and where would we be without Sven’s unbreakable passion and commitment back then and now.
Thank you for all , keep rocking!
